bird's mvp placing from his rookie season until his back surgery - 4th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd, 2nd.

both guys just had the ability to provide whatever their teams needed. magic's numbers and mvp placings are somewhat depressed because he simply did what was necessary for his team. and deferring to kareem and playing a more passive scoring role was best for his team through the middle of his career. only thing separating the 2 is personal preference. magic ended his career stronger, but bird started his career stronger (save for 1 legendary game).
